4. The Cold Section

CBS used what is now being referred to as "egg-vertising" to promote last Fall's lineup. According to Ads of the World, some slogans used included: “CSI” (“Crack the Case on CBS”); “The Amazing Race” (“Scramble to Win on CBS”); and “Shark” (“Hard-Boiled Drama.”).

Variations on the ad for its Monday night lineup of comedy shows include “Shelling Out Laughs,” “Funny Side Up” and “Leave the Yolks to Us.”

5. Grocery Aisles

A Literacy Group in South Carolina was working to get people to donate their books to a large book sale to raise money for the Greenville Literacy Association. On top of placing books on grocery shelves, the campaign also turned a parking garage into a book shelf and a highly traveled stairway into a stack of books

According to Ads of the World, the idea was everybody has books lying around either on shelves, in the corner or under their beds or in closets. You have books lying around - so donate them to a great cause please. All materials for the donation phase had the copy - "Have any books lying around? Donate them to a great cause."
